What are the Benefits of Ceramic Coatings?
Ceramic coatings will provide a noticeable depth and glossy appearance to your vehicle, and also some protection. However, full protection and self-healing properties are only found with paint protection film.
Ceramic Coating is a long-term nano-scopic exterior protectant and paint treatment that forms an ultra durable, high gloss and slick to the touch chemically bonded layer of optically clear ceramic.
The high density ceramic layer offers multiple benefits to vehicle paint finishes including protection from environmental hazards and adds resistance to road salt, wash chemicals and contaminants such as tree sap, tar, and hard water spots. Additionally, it provides:
- Hydrophobic water repellent properties
- UV barrier against air and oxidation
- Enhanced shine and paint depth appearance
- Prevention against water spotting
- Significantly improves resistance to micro-marring
- Makes cleaning and maintenance easier on the owner
All of our Ceramic Coating applications may be applied singularly by itself or in addition to a pre-applied paint protection film. You can choose between various vehicle coverage options and combinations of either.
What’s the Difference Between Paint Correction & Ceramic Coatings?
Paint Correction is a process that involves reducing or removing imperfections in the vehicle’s clear coat and ‘restoring’ it to better than original condition. Imperfections such as surface scratches, fine marring, oxidation, swirls, hazing, or bird etchings can be significantly reduced and often completely eliminated with paint correction. Paint correction can transform your vehicle’s paint finish to a buttery smooth and high gloss shine. Ceramic Coating is a durable, long-lasting nano-scale exterior protection and paint treatment. It creates a chemically bonded, ultra-hard, high-shine, and smooth layer of transparent ceramic.
We offer varying levels of paint correction. From new car details, single step and basic polishes, to major multi stage paint correction, we can bring back the life of your car’s exterior appearance.
Additionally, paint correction is an essential step during the ceramic coatings process. This critical preparatory step should be done prior to applying nano ceramic coatings to avoid permanently sealing in defects. It also enables covalent bond adherence between the paint and the coatings themselves.
Car Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating Go Hand-in-Hand
People love the permanent-like quality that applying ceramic coating provides to their cars paint job. However, this same benefit can also “lock in” swirl marks, minor surface scratches, and dirt…forever. That’s why it’s crucial to work with an expert in car paint restoration and is a perfectionist when it comes to ceramic coating “prep work.”
Let’s talk about what to expect when bringing your vehicle to New Image for ceramic coating services. In short, we follow a proven process.

Ceramic Coating Success Requires the Right Steps
The experienced team at New Image Paint Protection has our ceramic coating service down to an art and science. Here is our formula for achieving perfect results on every single car.
Paint Correction:
We begin by closely examining your vehicle’s paint and thoroughly examine it for defects. This includes identifying any paint swirls, nicks, scratches, or surface marks. We then get to work using best-in-class paint correction & exterior detailing techniques to remove or greatly minimize blemishes in your cars’ exterior. While we’re not a paint shop, any defect that is “removable” will get our attention. The goal is to coat the best version of your car.
Perfect Exterior Preparation
Next, all dirt and road contaminants will be removed from your vehicle’s paint. We often use a clay bar treatment to remove deep grime and we thoroughly wash and clean every square inch of the surface. Preparation is everything – as the surface of your ride needs to be perfectly clean. Once it’s dry, it’s time to apply the magic.
Quality Matters: We Use Only the Best Ceramic Coating Products
Our team uses only the highest quality ceramic coating products on the market. Gtechniq is a top-shelf brand that is professional-grade serum. It provides matchless levels of gloss and surface slickness, while also providing protection against future paint swirls. Ceramic coating products like this are only available to approved dealers like New Image that knows how to correctly apply them.
Professional Ceramic Coating Installation
Now we’re ready for showtime. Each step we’ve discussed in the process matters, but without experienced installation of your ceramic coatings the results will fall short. New Image brings years of experience to each and every ceramic coating application that we provide in our Denver shop. We control everything from temperature to application tools, and curing times. Your ceramic coating will be applied with precision and accuracy.
Ceramic Car Coating FAQ’s
Can ceramic coatings be applied on glass car windows?
Yes, we can apply ceramic coatings directly to your window glass. This makes the water bead up and roll off due to the hydrophobic qualities.
How long does it take for ceramic car coatings to cure?
Ceramic coating application cures with exposure to sunlight for around 24 hours, and is fully complete in 3 to 4 days. It’s important that no water comes in contact during this time.
Can you notice the gloss and shine of ceramic car coating immediately?
Yes, a new shine will be immediately evident. However, your vehicle’s glossy appearance will actually peak days after the installation.
Can you install ceramic coating over PPF?
Yes, you can apply ceramic coating on top of PPF, but not the other way around.
Does ceramic coating mean I’ll never have to wash my car again?
Not exactly. Your car’s exterior will be hydrophobic, so it won’t get as dirty. Dirt will bind to water droplets and flow off more easily. However, still need to wash and maintain your car. Think of ceramic coatings like a permanent wax or sealant.
Will the ceramic coating protect against rock chips and scratches?
Your car will have more protection than before, but a ceramic coat will not provide extensive or self healing paint protection properties. Those are found in PPF.
Ceramic Coating After Care “Best Practices”
- After receiving your ceramic coating, avoid all water exposure for the first 24 hours while it completes its initial curing phase. After the initial 24 hours, DO NOT WASH your car within the first seven (7) days after ceramic coating application.
- Wash and maintain the cleanliness of your car frequently. I.E. 1 wash per week or every other week is ideal.
- Avoid utilizing automated car washes that have brushes and agitating cleaning mechanics. Utilizing these style car washes may significantly reduce the lifespan of your coating.
- Hand washing is the best method to maximize the lifespan of your coating.
- Try NOT to wash in direct sunlight. Early morning or evening hours are best.
- When hand washing, using a microfiber wash mitt and a two bucket system with grit guards in the bottom of each bucket will help prevent re-introduction of surface scratching and micro marring. If you’re only able to use a single bucket, be sure to have a grit guard in the bottom.
- Always save washing your wheels for last to lessen contamination of the water and wash mitt. Wash your vehicle from top to bottom where soil and contamination is the heaviest.
- Use PH neutral car shampoos and avoid harsh cleaning products. Aim to use soaps that are free from marketing themselves with the words “wax” or “shine” in the title or description. These types of products will leave a wax or some other types of gloss enhancing agents on the surface. These “gloss” enhancers alter the hydrophobic properties of the coating itself.
- Dry with 2 microfiber drying towels or an electric blower, and use a gentle detailer’s spray.
- Ceramic Coating properties, such as hydrophobic longevity, is somewhat dependent on the after installation care and maintenance committed to by the consumer. Yearly routine follow-ups are recommended.
- Following these guidelines is essential to ensure the longevity of your ceramic coating.
